Cookie and browser storage policy

What this site stores in the browser

The datadoodles storefront at datadoodles.site is a static frontend. It does not run an advertising network, and it does not drop marketing cookies from other companies. The browser storage it does use is there so a hosting order, a login, a ticket, or a dismissed notice can still be there after a refresh.

This page is the cookie and local-storage notice. The separate data-protection note explains the limits of that storage and refuses any claim of certified GDPR compliance. Read them together. They describe the same browser, not two different products.

The keys

An account record holds the name, email and password you typed, under a local storage key for users. A session key holds the email and name of the person who is logged in. Orders, tickets and contact messages have their own keys. A reset code, when you ask for one, sits in session storage until you use it or the session ends. The announcement bar stores a flag when you dismiss it.

These keys are first-party. They are not shared with an ad exchange. They do not follow you to other websites. Clearing site data for this host deletes them. Logging out deletes the session key and leaves the account in place so you can log in again on that browser.

What is not used

There is no analytics cookie, no retargeting pixel, and no social plugin that sets a cookie because a button was painted. Links to the contact form are ordinary links. The icon sprite is an SVG file on this site, not a third-party font call.

Payment cookies are absent because payment fields are absent. Do not confuse a footer badge that says UPI or cards with a checkout cookie. No card number is typed, so none is stored. If a future invoice flow adds a processor, this page has to name it before that flow goes live. It does not name one now.

How long they last

Local storage lasts until you or the browser removes it. It does not expire after a neat 90 days, and this notice will not pretend that it does. Session storage for the reset code lasts for the browser session. The announcement flag lasts until you clear it.

There is no server-side retention of these keys, because they are not sent to a server. That is a smaller footprint, and it also means a lost laptop is a lost account. Do not store a password you use anywhere else.

Your choices

You can browse prices, read policies, and use the JSON tools without creating an account. Tools that only transform text you paste do not need the account keys. Domain search uses the text you type and writes the result into the page, not into an ad profile.

If you do not want the keys, do not register, and clear storage if you already did. The site will forget the session. There is no 'reject all' banner that also secretly keeps a tracking cookie, because there is no tracking cookie to reject. A banner that only exists to look familiar would be theatre.

Cookies you might confuse with ours

A hosted WordPress site that you install later can set its own cookies for logins and carts. Those cookies belong to your site and your plugins. They are not set by the marketing pages of datadoodles.site. The Mumbai cache is described as skipping carts and logins so those cookies still reach the origin.

Your registrar, your bank, and your browser vendor set cookies on their own sites when you visit them. This notice does not control those. Location pages that mention Dubai or Kerala do not embed those governments' sites.

Changes to this notice

If the operator adds a real measurement tool or a real payment page, the new cookie or storage key will be named here first. A change from local storage to a server account is a privacy-notice change as well. Sample contact details remain sample until they are confirmed. Questions go to the contact form.

This page does not claim that the notice has been filed, approved, or certified. It is an honest description of one static site.

Do I need to click accept for the site to work?

No. Reading the pages does not depend on an accept button. Creating an account does store data, and the registration page says the account lives in the browser. That is the moment of choice.

Can I use the site with storage blocked?

You can read it. Login, orders, tickets and the reset code will fail because they have nowhere to sit. The pricing section will still show ₹ prices.

Does the coupon use a tracking cookie?

No. DOODLE10 is read from the field when you submit the order form. It is not a cookie that follows you around the web.

Will you add Google analytics later?

Not without editing this page. There is no analytics tag now. A future tag needs a name, a purpose, and a way to avoid it.

Are there cookies on the status notes?

The status notes do not probe other companies and do not set extra keys. They are ordinary pages. They are not an outage feed.

Does the password toggle set a cookie?

No. It changes the input type on the page so you can see what you typed. Nothing is written because of that click.

What about the year in the footer?

A script writes the current year into the footer. It does not identify you and it does not store a preference.

How do I ask a cookie question?

Email contact@datadoodles.site or use the contact form. The form keeps the message in this browser and says so.

A map of the keys this site actually writes

The account list is stored under a local key named for this brand, together with the session, the order list, tickets, contact messages and a flag that hides the announcement bar. A reset code, when you ask for one, sits in session storage until you use it or close the session. None of these keys is sent to an advertising network. None of them is a third-party cookie. The announcement flag remembers that you dismissed a sentence about the Mumbai cache. It does not record which city you are in.

Registration stores the name, email and password you typed. That password is a browser credential for this copy. It is not hashed by a server, because there is no server. Do not reuse a password from mail or banking. Orders store the plan, the term, the optional domain, the INR total and the time. Contact messages store whatever you typed in the form. If you paste a card number into a message, you have published it to your own disk. The form does not ask for one.

Tools, search and pages that do not need a key

The JSON tools, the HTML compare, the keyword density tool and the Open Graph generator transform text in the page. They do not have to write a profile. Domain search shows a result on the page from a small local list. It does not drop a retargeting cookie. Status notes about other services are static pages. Opening them does not probe those services and does not set an extra key. Blog search filters cards that are already in the document.

The billing toggle on the pricing section changes the numbers on screen. It does not need to remember your choice in a cookie for the site to function. If you leave and come back, the monthly figures show again until you click yearly or three years. That is a display default, not a tracker.

What would count as a new cookie

A measurement script, a chat widget, or a payment page would be a change to this notice before it went live. Nothing on the site today matches those. There is no accept banner, because there is no optional tracker hiding behind a reject button. If storage is blocked, you can still read prices in INR. Login, tickets, orders and the reset code will fail, and the page should say so, because those features have nowhere to sit.

Cookies set by a WordPress site you later install are your site's cookies. Plugins you add can set more. The Mumbai cache is meant to leave logins and carts uncached so those cookies still reach the origin. That is a hosting behaviour, not a marketing cookie on datadoodles.site. Your bank, your registrar and your browser vendor set their own cookies on their own sites when you visit them.

How long the keys remain

Local storage remains until you or the browser deletes it. This notice will not invent a 90-day expiry the code does not have. Session storage ends with the session. You can clear both in the browser settings. Clearing them logs you out and removes orders that were never sent to a server. Questions go to the contact form. Email contact@datadoodles.site or use the contact form. This page does not claim a certification, and it does not describe a QR code or a payment cookie, because neither is in use.
